The Beckham clan escaped rainy Britain for a Christmas break in the Maldives but were forced to cut the £250,000 vacation short because of torrential rain.

David and Victoria whisked their four children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and little Harper – away on a luxurious £250,000 festive retreat for Christmas.

But after flying out on the 23rd December, by Boxing Day they were so fed up with the soaking weather they decided to leave the One&Only Reethi Rah resort, which boasts 130 private villas, 40 pools and 12 beaches, behind in favour of somewhere sunnier.

It will come as a massive blow as David, who quit US team LA Galaxy earlier in the month, had decided to splash out on the most expensive suite the hotel offers, costing a whopping £8,600 per night.

The family were supposed to stay in the plush resort for 11 days.

A source told The Sun: ‘It really is unfortunate for them, especially because it’s such a beautiful place.

‘But there was hardly anything for them to do except wait for the rain to stop. They arrived too late to leave in time to snatch Christmas Day somewhere sunny so they left on Wednesday.”

‘They were told by staff the rain could pass any day but the forecast for the coming days didn’t look good either.’

As the hotel is under no obligation to refund the family for their accommodation costs, it’s predicted they could lose around £60,000.
